Dear Joe:
Please be advised that I am corporate counsel for Adaptec, Inc.
It has come to our attention that one of ProCooling.com’s members, “rami” (member ID No. 7274) is currently distributing unauthorized copies of Adaptec's copyrighted software, SnapOS 4.0, by posting a link to the ftp download directly from your message board/forum. This conduct constitutes copyright infringement which may result in significant penalties and attorney's fees under the U.S. Copyright Act.
Request is hereby made that you immediately remove any and all of rami’s messages containing the link or the links which are directed to this ftp site. Please confirm actions taken in this regard no later than noon PST Tuesday, November 9, 2004. If the links are not removed as requested, we shall proceed accordingly based on your failure to take reasonable remedial action upon actual notice and knowledge of the infringement.
Please do not hesitate to call or write with any comments or questions. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
Very truly yours,
Judith A. Player

So some steps will need to be taken. I am against internet censorship and am also against it being MY responsibility to moderate all these threads.
Please post a reply on ideas or comments.
